Germany: Unionized Lieferando employees to stage demonstration in southeast Berlin Aug. 17

Event

Unionized Lieferando food couriers plan to demonstrate in southeast Berlin at 15:00 Aug. 17. The purpose of the protest, which coincides with a warning strike, is to call for a wage increase. Demonstrators will gather at Lieferando's headquarters at the corner of Schlesische and Cuvry streets.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the demonstration site. While the event will likely remain largely peaceful, low-level confrontations cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid the demonstration area as a standard precaution. Allow additional travel time to reach nearby destinations. Depart the area at the first indication of any security disturbance.
